My wild Saturday night was spent organizing different drawers in my kitchen and now I’m going to bed before 10pm 😍. Anyone else living on the edge tonight? 😂🙋🏼‍♀️

I’m so excited - and I just can’t hide it! I’m planning my first-ever GALentines Party {a celebration of girl friends on February 13th}. In my current stage of life weeknight parties are few and far between, so I decided to make it easy and celebrate in the morning. The toddlers will play and decorate Valentines while the moms chat and enjoy brunch. I got all of these goodies from @orientaltrading and if you’re looking for a one-stop shop for Valentines Day party prep, look no further! Now through Thursday you get free shipping using the code CUPIDSQUAD.

As you make goals for the New Year, I challenge you not to resolve to just try harder or be better, but instead to DRAW NEARER.
Here are some verses I'm clinging to in 2020, praying that it's a year where I stop striving in my own power and intentionally set aside quality time to draw near to my loving, all-powerful God:
*Psalm 46:10 "“Be still, and know that I am God"
*James 4:8 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."
*John 15:4-5 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

Prayers for the Teaching Journey --> Today, let's continue with our study of advent and pray for JOY!

Happiness comes when you get the perfect present under your tree. Happiness is when your family gets together and no one storms off, angry after a heated debate. Happiness is fleeting. Happiness is a reaction to something else. Happiness is often out of your control.

JOY, on the other hand, is not an emotion that is dependent on your circumstances - true, lasting joy comes from resting in knowing who created us. You can find joy in your work because God has called you to your specific students. Joy comes from living in obedience and sharing the Gospel with the people God places in your life. Joy is not dependent on the behavior of your students, the interactions you have with parents, or the observations you have with your administration. You can choose to find JOY in this busy season because you know the true reason we celebrate Christmas: Jesus!

The name Emmanuel, means "God with us" - is there any better reason for us to have joy?

Praying for a wonderful week, teachers! I know it'll be hectic, but remember to extend grace to your students, engage them each day, and cling to the source of our joy, Jesus!

**This will be the last Prayers for the Teaching Journey post for 2019. I'll be taking a short break to spend time with my sweet family and will be back in January 2020!

These are some of my favorite ornaments on our tree: I bought empty ornaments from Michaels and filled them with the tiny hat and hospital bracelet each of my kiddos wore when they were born 👶🏻👶🏼👶🏼. I love pulling them out each year 😍🎄👌
